@DuckFwetcher@ADiMarco25 Yeah I mean he could demand a trade I suppose... but who's demanding a trade to come to Philly rn? We're not in that upper echelon of destinations yet imo.
@DuckFwetcher@ADiMarco25 CBJ is in an even better position to match anything than the Ducks were and committed to not trading Werenski this offseason... I doubt they move Fantilli this year.
@MccueChris@DucksDaily93@DFigini85 And they already had a ton of pieces leave this offseason with no replacements. The D core is also bottom 3 in the league with more players needed to boot. They're cap strapped asf if they match and are gonna need to gut their Top 6. No shot they compete for a few years at least.
@TeemuFor8ver@MarcoNormandin Shame you guys seem fucked either way. Keep Carlsson and ice a wholly uncompetitive roster being forced to part ways with more of your top 6 + future picks and with a bottom 3 D core in the league. Or don't match and be forced to to find upgrades with the new found cap space.
@TeemuFor8ver@MarcoNormandin Kreider and Killorn have 15 team NTLs and Vatrano is ass and owed deferred money until 2035. It's gonna be ALOT harder to move those guys than you think. Especially since the league knows the shit situatuon Anaheim is in...
@TBFlyer@ducks2007quack@earlecroberts And they've clearly been a team with an internal cap. They haven't been spending up to the hard cap in previous years. This puts them above their internal projections as well.
@BrianLindones1@TBFlyer@elijahjamss Could also you know, lock up your players before they become offer sheet eligible? Which, seems like something Anaheim wasn't ever prepared for.
@_trgv445@ZachCav The kid who forced his way out of an organization before playing a single NHL game taking a team friendly deal in a state with horrific tax brackets? Fat chance lmao
@DatGamerLion3@ducks2007quack@JuanYeeedoggie@SuitableAlias Clearly you didn't read my previous comment. It's incredibly bad optics as an owner, to come out and say 'I didn't give out bonuses to my employees' or 'I did give out bonuses to my employees' he looks like an asshole either way lmao.
@PhillySquidward@CarlBradley737 Could easily get draft capital back for Tippett as well. And the Flyers have an excess of Forwards as is not including Carlsson.
@DatGamerLion3@JuanYeeedoggie@ducks2007quack@SuitableAlias If it's not public than it's not known. Idk why you all assume he gave out these 100% bonuses with no actual evidence he did. Ofc he's not gonna say whether he did or didn't give out the bonuses. That's bad optics. The players didn't get bonuses, and that's what's at stake.
